EN: to be convinced
That "aha!" moment when your friend finally convinces you to try that sketchy-looking street food and it turns out to be amazing. Or when a salesperson's pitch is so good, you walk out with a new gadget you didn't even know you needed. When you finally agree, you've been "makombensi".
From "ma-" (ability/involuntary action prefix) + "kombensi" (from Spanish 'convencer').
Often used to express a change of mind or heart. The root 'kombensi' is from the verb 'kumbinsihin' (to convince).
